College Football - The NCAA has rejected Florida State's appeal of sanctions levied against several of the school's athletic programs, including the football team. The rejection means, among other penalties to the specific athletic teams, that Bobby Bowden will lose twelve of his career victories as players who cheated on exams at FSU were playing on those teams at the time.
- Gone are five wins from 2006 (including the Emerald Bowl) and seven wins from 2007. Bowden, who is second on the all time wins list behind Penn State's Joe Paterno, drops from 389 all time wins as head coach to 377. Paterno, who somehow shows zero signs of retiring despite being 142* years old, currently has 394 wins. (*pure speculation) (espn.com)

- The New Orleans Saints, the Saints, are Super Bowl Champions. New Orleans beat Indianapolis 31 - 17 last night in Miami. Head Coach Sean Payton had his team go for it on a fourth and goal before half time (that failed) and opened the second half with an onsides kick (that worked). That all out game plan by Payton coupled with an incredible game by Drew Brees and a late fourth quarter pick six by the Saints Tracy Porter gave New Orleans their first ever Super Bowl win. (nola.com)
- Of all the lasting images from Super Bowls past, Drew Brees holding his son on the podium in the midst of all the celebrating New Orleans Saints may be the most memorable. Brees had the right to have a great time having just given New Orleans a Super Bowl championship and Brees was named Most Valuable Player. The Saints quarterback threw for 288 yards and was 32 - 39 passing with no interceptions. (nola.com)

After the Bearcats got up 49 - 43 with just over 12 minutes left in the game, SU used lock down defense to keep Cincy to one field goal the rest of the game.

Syracuse is back in action Wednesday at the Dome against rival Connecticut. The national attention is starting to pick up for this team too.
